Ten people, most of them reportedly militants and their sympathisers were killed and seven others sustained injuries in the attack. A high-ranking government official said seven of the slain people were Uzbek militants. Wishing not to be named, he said Hakimullah always kept Uzbek guards with him for protection and there were strong indications he was present at this hideout at the time of the drone attack. “I can 80 per cent confirm that he is dead but I am waiting for more credible evidence,” claimed the official posted in the region. When reached by phone, Pakistan Army spokesman Maj-Gen Athar Abbas, who is also the director-general of Inter-Services Pubic Relations (ISPR), said none of the intelligence agencies had confirmed his death so far.

We'll just have to wait then. *Twiddles thumbs*.

Sometimes when we see the eyes- those horrible times when we see the eyes,eyes that ... that have no soul - then we know a darkness.

The Times Of India says that Mehsud was injured in the attack. Possibility A: He has or\will die from his injuries. Possibility B: He won't die from his injuries. Possibility C: He's already dead and his status will remain unconfirmed. It was a very ballsy pick, DDT. I neglected to list him because I wasn't even sure if he was alive or not.

Thanks for this Banshee. Interesting developments.

I now have a strong feeling the Taliban are delaying the news of Mehsud's death.

Time for Wali-ur-Rehman to finally step up and take the reins (thus making him a No.1 Drone target)
